Cheney camp denies heart-trouble reports

Reports on political commentator Arianna Huffington's Web log that Vice President Dick Cheney had heart trouble while in Vail last week are not true, the vice president's spokeswoman said Monday.

Cheney had a scheduled appointment Friday to see Dr. Richard Steadman to treat an old high school football injury to his knee, said his spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride.

Cheney was in Vail last weekend attending a closed meeting held by the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank.

Huffington, who was also in Vail last week, has cited unnamed sources as reporting that Cheney used an alias to check into the Vail Valley Medical Center for an angina attack.

1. Closed Door Meeting at AEI? HAHAHAHAHAAH "Old Football Injury" LOL!!!!!

:eyes:

If they want to squelch the rumors, have him appear before a camera. No one has actually seen the scumbag in days.

30. RE: "No one has seen him in days"

[Bluebear]

2. "an old high school football injury to his knee"

And we do mean old!

Nice try, Lea Anne!

[LSparkle]

3. Prelude to him resigning

so the Thugs will have an incumbent to run in '08. (Yes, Criswell predicts.) Question is: who will replace him as VP?

[AFSCME girl]

10. Why, Condi, of course n/t

[LSparkle]

21. Methinks you may be right, especially if we run Hillary

[CottonBear]

12. Can * appoint Jeb as VP? That would be really, really bad.

Might it be Kindofsleazy Rice or Rummy?
What is the procedure? Didn't Nixon personally choose and appoint Ford after Spiro Agnew resigned?
:scared:

[catmandu57]

22. They'd want somebody who could win

There isn't anyone in this misadministration who could do that. Jebbie has acquired considerable baggage since the shiavo fiasco, so they'll have to bring someone from the outside.

[lyonn]

15. Rove - n/t

[LSparkle]

19. Heh heh heh

That's pretty funny.

[jobycom]

24. I think they'd appoint McCain.

McCain has too much chance to win on his own in 2008. By making him VP, they can lock him in to their camp before then. He's already shown he has no honor, so he will do what they say. If he misbehaves, they can cut him up before 2008, and run someone else.

Plus, he makes Bush look more legite. Condi is too weak a public speaker. Besides, i don't think we've ever had a husband and wife team as PRes/VP before.

Just my guess.

4. what heart?

[shoelace414]

5. the Old high school football injury...

that's the second time I fell for it this week.

[catmandu57]

6. I heard he had a cold

maybe they've got him on ice?

[whistle]

7. The fact that the AEI met in the ICU of Vail's top cardiac hospital

....should not be grounds for spreading rumors that Dick Cheney ended up receiving a new artificial heart.:popcorn:

[hippiechick]

32. Artificial ? They were probably drawing straws for a sacrifice ...

.. to see which one of them would get to be Dick's 'donor'.

:evilfrown:

[Xipe Totec]

8. Heart Trouble? Impossible

Oil pump, maybe?

:sarcasm:

[lyonn]

16. lol - n/t

[olddad56]

17. It is like the Wizard of Oz....

Cheney has no heart, Bush no brain, Rumsfield no courage, and Condescending Rice is just trying to find her way back to Kansas.

[Botany]

9. But they wouldn't lie would they?

After all "they" have been so honest all along.

fuck 'em give Dick an IV of Iraqi crude ......

[louis-t]

11. Well then, that settles it if they denied it

cuz they always tells da truth, right? Right? Hello?

[DoYouEverWonder]

13. Something's up

because W is in big trouble and all the other top guns are out trying to save his ass. In the meantime, Cheney has not been seen in public since he checked into the hospital?

[Laughing Mirror]

20. Where is Cheney?

He was supposed to have had another one of those secret closed meetings the other day with al-Jaafari. But there were no pictures of him anywhere. The only one you I can find shows not Cheney, but a car.

Iraq's prime minister reviewed strategy with President Bush's top advisers Thursday amid growing pressure on the White House to bring troops home from a war that has cost the lives of more than 1,700 U.S. troops. He will meet with Bush on Friday. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)

14. The altitude would have triggered it

Everyone knows the old fart's ticker was kicking up on him. They lie very very poorly

[IChing]

23. I lived in the Mountains and had friends get nosebleeds the first day

they arrived from low altitude, also, dizziness, shortest of breath, vomiting and other altitude sickness in the Colorado mountains and also even in Denver which is a mile high.

My grandmother had problems and needed oxygen as an extra help.

[uppityperson]

18. Prove he didn't check in using an alias. Let's see him do that.

Prove he didn't have heart trouble too. Let's see that too.

[daleo]

25. That settles it

He did have heart trouble.

[Skidmore]

26. He's holed up with his attorneys to see how much deep

doo-doo he's in over Halliburton fraud charges.

[catzies]

27. But why the pseudonym if there's nothing to hide?

:shrug:

[Joey Liberal]

28. Cheney has no heart.......His soul must be bothering him n/t

[katty]

29. his Soul checked out a long time ago - Cheney is

a shell.

[u2spirit]

31. No heart problems for Dick

since he doesn't have one. Of course it is possible that he has Chandra Levy's now.
